I suspect I’m in the minority on this, but I really don’t want a watch that I have to charge everyday…even once a week I find hard to swallow. I used to have a Microsoft SPOT watch, and it was okay (minus the fact it kept resetting once a month or so).

I’ve been wearing a Casio G-Shock Waveceptor/Tough Solar almost non-stop for 6 years now. I’ve had to replace the band on it about a year ago, and the battery recently hit a point where it doesn’t hold enough of a charge (it’s solar powered) to get me through the Seattle winter. But it does what I need it to do: tell time accurately to the second (it syncs with WWVB nightly).
